' Be it known tha I, HUGH GEMIGNA-nr, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newV and useful Improvements in Steamin following is a specification, reference being staining same durin had therein to the accompanying drawing.

AThis invention relates. to a resslng device, and the'primary object o? my invention is the provision of positive and reliable means, as hereinafter s et forth, for pressing velvet. v Y

A further object of this invention is to provide a steaming device for velvet. wherein the textile `is moistened without fear of ing a well knownact thatvelvet textile will stain if any water comes in contact therewith during the pressing operation and this device embodies a novel steam l -heat Y pressing device to which is connected -a brush havinga and steam exhaust coperating with the dev vicefor pressing velvet garments.

with the above and other objects in. view,

the invention resides in a novel construction,

- combination and arrangelnent of parts to spring held capA 5 t a safety` valve.
